Timeline Lyrics by Apes of the State

This City Isn’t Big Enough

2016

[Verse 1]
Two years ago, I was sitting on a tiny blue couch
In the basement apartment of a college town
The tears rolled out as I started to break down
'cause I was lost and I was scared
I was graduating school, and for the first time in my life
I felt so unprepared
With no idea what direction I was heading to
[Chorus 1]
And I was trying, I was trying not to lose my mind
Do dododo do dododo do dododo do
Yeah, I was trying, I was trying not to lose my mind
Do dododo do dododo do dododo do dodo do
[Verse 2]
One year ago, I was sitting on the edge of the bed
At my sister's house in Edison
I pulled the needle out as I started to break down
'cause I was hurt and I was scared
I tried to make it on my own and I found out that
I was just so ill-prepared
And that was how I learned
That in order to be fixed, I had to be broken first
[Chorus 2]
And I was trying, I was trying not to lose my mind
Do dododo do dododo do dododo do
Yeah, I was trying, I was trying to stop getting high
Do dododo do dododo do dododo do dodo do
Four months ago I met a girl with pretty brown eyes
She looked at me and she said, "I want you for mine"
It made me happier than I'd been
Well, in a long time
And when I found her, I was scared
Love never seems to come when I'm prepared
And I want to write her a song
But every time I try, the words never seem to come out right
[Chorus 3]
And I'm just trying, I'm just trying not to lose my mind
Do dododo do dododo do dododo do
But she makes me, yeah, she makes me lose my goddamn mind
Do dododo do dododo do dododo do dodo do
